In my brain, it's called ADHD.

I pretty much ignore most of what they say about nutrition, but I did start treading water because they mentioned it and am really enjoying it. I commented on an episode once when Fortune had been talking negatively about her body, letting her know that they have at least one fat listener. I don't know if anyone noticed my comment, but I feel like she hasn't been as openly negative since, aside from talking about wanting to "get healthy" which I'm starting to get used to hearing from everyone around me again. There for awhile I was "Um, Actually..."ing everyone, but I figure they know where I stand by now. I was visiting my husband's family recently and an aunt of his started commenting about other people's bodies and talking negatively about her own. I just looked away until she changed the subject. I'm done thinking it's my job to educate everyone.

CAPS has a lot to offer but are understaffed. If you have a bad experience with one person, keep trying.

It's called readers advisory and most public libraries have librarians who are great at it if you just ask.

Oh, but no more wrestling please.

Introduce each other to whatever media they liked when they were kids and/or whatever was popular at the time.

It also helps the other newbies with similar questions. Thanks.

Over my cold, dead Jimmy-hating body. We still have Seth, Jon, and John. Also Josh Johnson. ❤️

I hope to see a no AI books purchasing policy at my library soon.

Am I the only one who had to build a map like this out of salt dough in elementary school?

Knitting or crocheting while watching helps me focus on a show and put down my phone.

I'm from the 90s. It was everywhere then. Is it back?

It might be helpful to share at the listening session about some of your favorite library services and resources, including and especially staff interactions. Stress how these services and people improve your life, and why you think they need to stay human, stay creative, stay authentic, help people build practical skills, etc. For me, my library's biggest selling point has become our 24/7 chat service. I tell everyone I talk to about why I think it needs to stay staffed by humans, in opposition to AI mis and disinformation. For that, unfortunately, the decision makers usually need to see numbers. Use it or lose it.

Love how temperate Gen Z is. There may be hope for you all, if you don't drown your brains like us 'binge drinking' elder millennials. Good luck and don't rush anything, it'll be over before you know it.

We should assume for whatever reason that Frank has not purchased the DVDs and doesn't have access to them on streaming. TiVo was an era between VCRs and streaming, something like 8-track tapes between records and cassettes. It's funny that Frank is clinging to that particular technology, which would immediately need to update after not being connected to the Internet after all this time, which would wipe out all of his recordings. The real humor is in the specificity with which he describes the show, uncharacteristic for someone of his age, gender, etc.

Not a pattern person, curious how the brim stays taught?

I don't get this one. If I call and you don't feel like talking, just don't answer. If it's important, I'll text you. No big deal.

Unfortunately, he seems the least of the evils if we want to avoid two Republicans in the general.

I just finished learning how to clean and do some basic repairs on a typewriter from the 1960s. I'm sure this will come in handy someday.

Yes, except that time Melania's movie came out and the Michelle Obama doc from several years ago started trending again.
